Fill in the Blanks: The ____________ are the receiving end of a neuron, while the ____________
conducts nerve impulses away from the cell body.
Dendrites; axon
Match the following neurotransmitters with the correct description.
Dopamine: Regulates emotional responses and muscles tone.
Norepinephrine: Produced by the adrenal glands.
Acetylcholine: Found at the neuromuscular junctions.
True or False: If false, explain why the statement is false. The peripheral nervous system consists
of the brain and spinal cord.
This statement is false. The central nervous system consists of the brain and spinal cord. The
peripheral nervous system includes all nerves that are not located in the brain or spinal cord.
Match the following lobes of the brain with the correct function.
Temporal: Contains sensory areas for hearing and smelling.
Frontal: Controls higher level executive functions.

Parietal: Receives sensory information from body receptors.
Occipital: Interprets visual input.
Which of the following structures of the spinal cord contains the cell bodies of afferent
neurons?
Dorsal root ganglion
Describe the function of the sympathetic nervous system when a threat is present.
The sympathetic nervous system (SNS) is often referred to as the "fight or flight" system. When
in immediate danger, muscles require a steady, increased supply of glucose and oxygen for
muscular contraction. The SNS accelerates the heartbeat, dilates the bronchi, and increases the
respiratory rate. This supplies the increased need for oxygen throughout the body. The SNS also
causes the liver to deliver more glucose for the body's increased metabolic needs. Sympathetic
activation inhibits the digestive tract because digestion is not an immediate necessity when in
danger or under attack.
True or False: if false, explain why the statement is false. Visual information from the left side
will eventually be interpreted by the left side of the brain.
This statement is false. Sensory information gathered from the left side of the body will
eventually be interpreted in the right side of the brain.
Explain the main steps in the process of hearing..
First, sound waves are funneled into the external auditory canal, causing the eardrum to vibrate.
The vibrations transmit to the ossicles, which push against the fluid inside the cochlear duct. As
